Our Topic Of Discussion
• Cube.
• Cylinder.
• Sphere.
• Prism.
• Pyramid.
3D Shapes
• 3D shapes can be solid or hollow.
• 3D Shapes has 3 dimension:
– Length.
– Width.
– Height.
Now Some Technical Terms
To Address
3D Shapes
• Surface.
• Face.
• Base.
• Edge.
• Corner
• Vertex (singular)/Vertices (plural)
Surface
• The curved part of a 3D shape.
• Eg: Cylinder & Cone
Surface
Face
• Part of a 3D shape that
is flat.
Base
• The bottom
face of a 3D
object.
Base
Edge
• The line where two faces meet on a 3D object.
6 Edges
5 Edges
Corner
• The point where three
or more edges touch.
• This cube has 12
corners all together.
Vertex (Vertices)
• The point where three or more edges meet.
• This cube has 12 vertices all together.
Cube
• A three-dimensional shape which has:
–6 Faces (All are of the same size)
–12Edges
–8Corners/Vertex

Cylinder
• A three-dimensional shape which has:
–2 Faces
–1Surface
–0Edges
–0Corners/Vertex

Sphere
• A three-dimensional shape which has:
–0 Faces
–1Surface
–0Edges
–0Corner /Vertex
Surface
• There are different types of prisms and they
are based on the shape of its bases:
–Rectangular Prisms
–Square Prisms
–Triangular Prisms
–Hexagonal Prisms
Prism
Pyramids
• There are different types of pyramid and they
are based on the shape of its bases:
• Have 1 base.
• Have Triangular side faces that meet at one
Vertex.
• Examples: Square Pyramid, Triangular Pyramid, Rectangular pyramid etc.
base
Triangular face
Square Pyramid
• A three-dimensional shape which has:
–5 Faces (1 square and 4 triangles)
–8Edges
–5Corner /Vertex
Rectangular Pyramid
A three-dimensional shape which has:
–5 Faces (1 Rectangular + 4 Triangles)
–8Edges
–5Corner /Vertex
Rectangular face
Triangular face
Prism Vs Pyramid
PRISM
-At least 3 Faces that are
Rectangles.
-Two congruent faces on
top and bottom called
bases.
-The shape of the base
determines what type of
prism the figure is.
PYRAMID
-At least 3 Faces that are
Triangles.
-One base.
-The shape of the base
determines what type of
prism the figure is.
